Chapter 107: Haruno, do you want to give it a try?
Following the suit man's prompts, Sawayama Haruno's eyes also fell on the group in the center of the field.
When he saw one of them clearly, he was slightly startled and quickly recognized that it was Suguha Esaki.
Although she was separated by heavy armor, the girl's direct aura seemed to have become even stronger during the swordsmanship competition, and she had an indomitable attitude.
"Obviously it hasn't started yet."
He couldn't help but mutter a few words.
"It's something like "power". Even before it starts, it will adjust to the best state, and strive to overwhelm the opponent before the first blow is released." The man in the suit explained.
"It's that kind of thing. When swinging the sword, you will shout "face" or something like that, something like Aikido." Haruno Sawayama touched his chin.
The competition seems to be about to begin.
The referee stood outside the drawing line and shouted something to the two men.
The two girls initially placed the bamboo swords at their waists, but in the preparation stage after the ceremony, they placed the swords in front of them.
"It's about to begin." The man in the suit said softly.
Sawayama Haruno subconsciously sat up straighter, his eyes fixed on Esaki Suguha's position.
"This multi-department exchange competition, women's competition, A26 group."
The referee stood outside the court and shouted: "One round, begin!"
The moment the words fell, Esaki Suguha quickly raised her hands, opened a subtle distance between her left and right feet, and stood still on the spot with a high-ranking posture.
Although Sawayama Haruno, who was sitting in the audience, could not see very clearly, he could still feel the constant pressure coming from the tall girl.
The most intuitive feeling is that when Ezaki Suguha assumes a high-up position, his opponent who also assumes the same posture retreats slightly.
However, this small retreat was the opportunity that Ezaki Suguha successfully seized.
Snap——
Suguha Esaki walked forward at the speed of light. With a flick of his wrist, his bamboo sword hit the opponent's head area accurately.
The opponent didn't even have time to parry.
"One round, over!"
The referee yelled: "Ezaki Suguha, MEN."
The two girls began to put away their stance and retreat.
"."
In the audience, Haruno Sawayama was stunned.
Is this the end?
“MEN means to score with the head, the wrist is called KOTE, the abdomen is called DO, and the thrust is called TSUKI.”
The man in the suit seemed to see Sawayama Haruno's confusion, so he patiently explained: "At that moment, Esaki Suguha already scored."
"I still know these things."
Sawayama Haruno pondered slightly, and said with some confusion: "But, does anyone really use such a posture as soon as they come up? At the beginning of a kendo competition, you need to seize the center line to launch a more effective attack, right?"
"It does not apply to those whose strength gap is too large." The man in the suit shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "The general meaning is that even if the opponent finds a loophole from the center line to counterattack, Esaki Suguha has the ability to quickly defend and pull Be confident in your distance.”
"There is still such a thing."
Sawayama Haruno was a little surprised.
I didn't expect that Suguha Ezaki's kendo level was really that good. Wouldn't this guy use all the skill points he learned in kendo?
She is simply an extremely standard "kendo girl".
He is tall, extremely poor at studying, and has excellent swordsmanship. If a sports drama about kendo were to be made, Suguha Ezaki would undoubtedly be the heroine.
While thinking wildly, the second round began again.
Suguha Ezaki came up with a familiar upper-level stance, but her opponent chose to respond with a mid-level stance after suffering a setback in the previous round.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with her opponent's approach. After all, after the first round of fighting, she should be very clear about the gap between herself and Ezaki Suguha, and the mid-level posture is an offensive and defensive posture. In this case, she may be able to deal with it. is better.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two is still too big.
Less than ten seconds into the game, Suguha Ezaki once again seized the opportunity. After a quick dash, she hit the face again without any suspense.
This scene is simply a dimensionality reduction attack. Are they really on the same level?
Sawayama Haruno couldn't help complaining in his heart.
While watching the game, he didn't forget to take a few glances at Mine Shiori who was taking pictures with a camera.
Unlike him who felt bored, Mine Shiori seemed a little excited.
Sure enough, I am probably the only one in this venue who feels bored.
Sawayama Haruno felt a little boring, but the man in a suit on the side did not think so. He took advantage of the end of the round to educate Sawayama Haruno about science.
And Suguha Esaki successfully won the victory after several battles with the opponent, but she didn't have much rest time, and a new opponent was quickly arranged for her.
——It’s still an easy winning streak.
Sawayama Haruno finally saw that Esaki Suguha's strength was not at the same level as other girls, let alone the women's group. This guy was probably more than enough even if he was thrown into the adult group.
Hmm. After all, he is a guy who jumps when asked.
The exchange match of the women's group did not last too long. It seemed to end after a few rounds of each group according to the original plan.
When Suguha Ezaki left the field, Haruno Sawayama didn't pay much attention to the other players. Even the man in a suit behind him seemed to have lost the motivation to explain. The two of them began to sit in the audience and play with their mobile phones. .
As time passed, the man in the suit got up and left after answering the phone call, while the players in the middle of the field also began to retreat one by one.
Sawayama Haruno felt a little bored. He looked around and didn't know where Mine Shiori had gone. When he was thinking about calling to inquire about the next situation, the other party called him first.
Sawayama Haruno didn't think much and picked up the phone directly.
"Hey, Haruno."
Feng Shiori's voice soon came from the other end, and she sounded a little happy.
"Suguha asked me to ask you, did you notice her game just now?"
"Of course, the one in the middle of the field, right? I've been watching it." Haruno Sawayama smiled, and then asked, "Will there be any games next?"
"Wait a moment. Suguha said there is no more."
"What about us?"
Sawayama Haruno asked with some solicitude.
In this case, it should be a dinner party to celebrate, right?
After all, it's not too late now, and the sky outside is slowly getting dark.
At this time, Maki Miyazawa would have already returned home from get off work to feed the cat.
But I was really disappointed when I came here today, I didn’t feel anything.
Just when Haruno Sawayama was thinking this, Mine Shiori’s tone on the phone suddenly became a little strange.
"Haruno."
"Suguha asked me to ask you, do you...do you want to give it a try?"
